Well Ive been out from paintball for a while. Just got back in a while ago and noticed there seems to be a change in what players are bringing out to the field and onto the forums nowadays. There seems to be strong support in rail drops, where the ASA is directly under the frame. It gives the gun a smaller profile shoves the tank way back.
When I was seriously into the sport, many ppl were using CP Flames or SHocktech Longs, now there seems to be alot of simple dovetail rails with on/off asa's and alot of uni-mounts on the frames. At the most, there will be a Shocktech or CP micro.
I currently use a System X-10 drop w/ on/off. Nice drop. I drilled another mounting hole to shove the unit an inch or so back so it wont interfere with my battery pack on my Micro-E. I like how it sat back more, gave a better balance. However, I tried using a simple duckbill ASA under the grip. It made the gun looks awkward, but I like the feel of the tank up higher sitting firmly against my forearm. It gave better support when sprinting ad jamming it over to the 50. I also like the fact when I shoot the marker, the tank rest ONTOP my bicep/shoulder taking alot of the weight off my hands.
I know there's die hard supporters here like Slipknot and FeeltheRT. I like the tank up high but dont like the tanks o far back. I wanna move the tank as forward as possible without the tank gauge or fill nipple hitting the frame. Only prob is when I tried the Cobra paintball rail, the reg body from the reg would hit the rail. Is there a rail I can use which would allow me to fit the tank more forward? If not, I was thinking of getting a beefy rail and grind/sand/polish the rear end to give more buffer room for the tank reg. Which rail is the best price?
LMK your opinions all.
